End of GOAT Tour as Her Future in Gymnastics Is Up in the Air: ‘Forever Thankful’
To close out a stellar 2024, Simone Biles recently marked the end of her successful GOAT Tour and thanked her fans for their support.
In a post on Instagram chronicling highlights from the tour, which also featured fellow Olympic gold medalists Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera, Biles offered up a heartfelt message of her “ journey” this year.
7 weeks, countless memories, and endless gratitude. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported this journey after the success we had in Paris 🎉 Your energy and love fuel everything I do. Forever thankful, forever inspired. STAY GOLDEN,” the 7-time Olympic gold medalist captioned the post on Monday, Nov. 18.
Biles has documented every step of the tour, including backstage snapshots, photos with fellow members of Team USA and the multiple visits from her husband, Chicago Bears player Jonathan Owens.
The Gold Over America Tour ended earlier this month on Nov. 3 in Detroit — and shortly after the 27-year-old Olympian posted a series of photos documenting the tour and also added a series of photos of herself crying, as she declared the last show to be “bittersweet.”
Telling PEOPLE at the start of the tour in September that she was “excited” following a few short weeks off after the Paris Olympics, Biles has remained mum about what’s next for her — and if she’ll stay in gymnastics to try and make the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
After winning gold in the vault final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Biles demurred about her L.A. plans.
“This is my last, definitely Yurchenko double pike [vault]. I mean I kind of nailed that one. So never say never,” she told reporters. “The home Games — the next Olympics is at home, so you just never know. But I am getting really old.”
And Biles’ husband said he’s on board with whatever she decides.
“If she feels like it is time to focus on life… because when you are locked in, you do have to sacrifice a lot and you do miss a lot,” Owens told PEOPLE in August.
“That’s the one thing that she would just have to figure out for herself. And like I said, man, I’m here to support her a thousand percent and whatever she decides to do,” he added.
🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump has just been rocked by what insiders are calling his worst poll result ever, as a once-reliable Texas Republican stronghold stuns the nation by flipping blue. The shock numbers have sent tremors through conservative circles and triggered open panic among Trump allies. For decades, this seat was considered untouchable—a symbol of red-state dominance. But the latest polling tells a very different story. Voters appear to be breaking sharply away, signaling frustration, fatigue, and a growing appetite for change that party leaders failed to anticipate. This isn’t just a bad poll—it’s a warning siren. Strategists are scrambling, donors are nervous, and the narrative of “safe red territory” is collapsing in real time. If Texas can wobble, nothing is guaranteed anymore. The political map is shifting fast—and the fallout is only just beginning. 👇👇

🚨Trump PANICS after MASSIVE LOSS…IN TEXAS!!!⚡ Donald Trump is showing clear signs of panic as Texas begins to shift politically. In a stunning special election runoff for Texas State Senate District 9, a Democratic candidate flipped a seat that hadn’t gone blue since 1991—winning by 14 points in a district Trump had carried by 17. This represents a 31-point Democratic overperformance, despite Republicans outspending Democrats by $2.5 million. Trump had loudly endorsed the MAGA candidate before the election, calling her a “phenomenal” and “true MAGA warrior.” But after her crushing defeat, Trump suddenly claimed he didn’t know about the race and had “nothing to do with it,” contradicting his own public statements. The result highlights a broader trend: independents and Republicans are crossing over, while Democrats are gaining momentum by focusing on workers’ rights, affordability, and healthcare instead of culture wars. Additional Democratic wins in Texas House races have narrowed the GOP’s majority in Congress to a single vote. Taken together, these developments suggest Texas is becoming competitive—and a potential blue tsunami could spell serious trouble for Trump and MAGA Republicans in upcoming elections…👇
JUST IN: House Democrats are said to be only five votes short of moving forward with Trump’s impeachment, as political pressure rises and a single vote could shift the outcome in Washington.
